After you’ve had a couple of goes but still can’t get it right, best you sit this one out, me thinks.

 

[Dragonsamy]

Tyrell has played the majority of his starting career as a centre. Yes, he has flipped between centre and edge forward, however, our current demand for a centre is more critical than our need for an edge forward, a position we are well stocked in already with Friz, T. Sims, Ford and Host.
Obviously, he would be a better option than our incumbent right centre, hence my decision to put him there.

Agree,
In fact he is quicker over short distances 30 meters than the centres we have.
Defensively he would smash it at Centre. Worth a go

Thank you for a logical response

For mine, where we’ve struggled has been making metres in the forwards.. I loved the post contact metres that Tyrell was making, and thought he added something extra to our pack (outside of our regular one out stuff).

Centre is still a black hole, I thought Williame added something, but not sure if Tyrell would give us what we need out wide..

And we are only talking round 1 and the fact that Graham will come back into the team and as George Dragon said in the Canterbury Cup thread maybe even Kerr. So reality bites that Tyrell could be actually down playing in CC round 1. For mine he has to be in the 17 so centre for me.

Such a shame this didn’t work for some reason. A meme where a pigeon asks “Are you talking shit again?” seems appropriate for your irritant self.

Oh well.

Unfortunately, my phone doesn’t allow me to find out what all thise icons mean when posting. I imagine it’d be a different story if a computer was used instead.

Cool story bro.

What’s your side to verse the tigers?

I like that he brings versatility, gives us that option to stop carrying a back on the bench incase of injury (thanks Mary) where we could shift him out to the 3/4 if we needed during the game..

Something we haven’t had since Thompson left us.. Very much the role Prior played as well..

 

[Saint_JimmyG]

Cool story bro.

What’s your side to verse the tigers?

Well, it’s the truth (something you often manipulate on a regular basis).

My side against WT was posted elsewhere...somewhere...but since you’ve enquired:

1. Lomax
2. Sailor
3. Williame
4. Lafai
5. Peirera
6. Clune
7.,Hunt
13. Ford
12. T. Sims
11. Frizell
10. Vaughan
9. Brittain
8. Merrin

Reserves:

14. Fuimaono
15. Lawrie
16. K. Sims (if fit)
17. Kerr (if fit)

Contingency if the above two aren’t fit:

Graham and Host.

Thanks for that.. Next time see if you can do it without throwing in an insult.

I know you don’t favour Norman, but would you consider him at fullback with Lomax replacing Lafai?

 

[BLM01]

After last night....who knows who plays where. I'll have a go on what I saw....But I think Cam is the only one that wont be fit so based on that. My side not Mary's is
1. Sailor / Dufty (Sailor gets 1st crack)
2. Saab
3. Williame
4. Lomax
5. Rav / Periera (Rav 1st crack cause built like a bshouse)
6. Norman - needs to step up
7. Clune - worth a crack not sure he can defend though
Forwards except Hunt at 9
Vaughan. Kerr, Frizz, Tariq, Tyrell
Bench - Sims, Lawrie, Graham & Luke/Brittain?...did not see Brittain run?..least Luke had a go and tried hard

Reserve Grade - Aitken, Lafai, Dufty, Host, Ford, Blacker, Periera, Gale, Brittain, Lovodua..and the rest

I’ll tell you what, I’ll be a mirror of yourself. Should you continue in a vein of being a self absorbed wanker, I’ll emulate that with some chilli on top. Conversely, if you’re polite, I’ll be the same.

To answer your question, in an ideal world Lomax would be in the centres (presumably in lieu of Lafai), but given the shortage of viable options, he plays there...for now.

You might have noted that I’ve nominated Sailor on the wing. He’s there should Zac flunk against the Tigpies. In that scenario, Lafai goes to the vacant spot on the flank. Who knows, Timeo might be better suited there....he seemed to strike up a partnership with Williame last night.

Can’t even follow a simple request for the benefit of the rest of the forum.

I answered your question regarding a Lomax-Norman-Lafai swap. What part don’t you understand?

Dont mind that team. I'd have Merrin in there though, he goes alright.

 

[RedVDave]

This is the team I believe will be picked:

1. Lomax
2. Ravawala
3.Aitken
4.Lafai
5. Pereira
6. Norman
7. Hunt
8. Graham
9.Luke
10. Vaughn.
11. Frizell.
12. T.Sims
13. Merrin

14. Sailor
15. Host
16. K. Sims
17. Ford

I reckon you’re spot on..

But hopefully we’re both surprised..

I agree Redv, however this is the side
That will loose 6 of the first 8 punting the coach.
Both centres are not NRL standard.
The fullback is too green
Ravalawa not sure what he will dish up
Norman and Hunt MUST lift.
All the above Must succeed or sink to reggies.

Who replaces Luke when he comes off...

Sailor to halves, Hunt to hooker.

Mary will see out the year I know people don't want to hear that but we won't be paying out 2 years of his contract he'll possibly be sacked midway through 2021 (or at the end of 2020) but hopefully Flanagan sticks around and gets the top job.

I agree with your player assessments though Rav is just shockingly bad under the highball my heart goes in my mouth everytime teams bomb it to him plus his reads in defence are also shaky.

I like Pereira but seems to be good for at least one or two silly mistakes a game. I'd prefer Saab on the wing personally.

I'm not convinced Lomax will be the answer at fullback hopefully I'm proven wrong though would prefer Dufty or Sailor their. Lomax has to be in the starting 13 though as his goalkicking is ace.
